Dude Devilman is the most famous and influential manga of all time
>Devilman is the most famous and influential manga of all time
No one ever said that
I'm pissed off that the original devilman is impossible to get in its original form. The only thing published in North America is the original, but edited and spliced with shin devilman. Like wtf is that shit? Why are manga publishers so retarded?
Dragon Ball has influenced almost all the battle shonens going on since the 90s onwards, and I say it even if I hate it.
Sales are not and indicator of how influential something is. This is true for every medium
That being said Dragon ball is incredibly influential too
Who are you quoting?
>5 volumes: 50 million sales
>42 volumes: 250 million sales
kek
DB is 300M+ retard.
DB sold 300m+ not 250m.
If you account for unofficial pirated copies it could be 400-500m.
But what's really impressive is what DB did for Jump's circulation numbers.
Look at the way the numbers rise from 1984 to 1995.
en.wikipedia.org
DB literally added 2.5 million consistent magazine buyers over around 11 years and made Jump the highest selling manga magazine of all time.
Oh, so you dbspics want to talk about manga sales huh?
DB is still more impressive and actually raised the magazine's sales/circulation numbers tremendously unlike OP which almost never did that.
OP wouldn't exist without DB either.
>OP wouldn't exist without DB either.
true
>DB is still more impressive and actually raised the magazine's sales/circulation numbers tremendously unlike OP which almost never did that.
Bullshit since one piece was the best-selling manga ever in 2019
When it comes to influence on anime/manga then Devilman might be more influential. But other wise I doubt anyone has claimed anything like that not in jest.
>dragon ball
>not more influential
>Juan Piss
Read more manga and watch more anime.
That has nothing to do with what I said. Dragon ball IS more influential.
That's cool and all but Go Nagai fuckin launched Shounen Jump with Harenchi Gakuen, which DB owes all its early ecchi antics to (Kame Sennin is basically lifted from it).
In the world of influential manga there is only Tezuka and Nagai.
if we talk about battle shonen of nowdays dragon ball is the most influential.

Is what you responded too. And you would only know if Devilman’s influence on anime and manga were greater than Dragon Ball by consuming a lot of it.
obviously the same with the techniques only that only certain authors are inspired Kishimoto e Oda sono due tra i tanti
Battle shounen is only a small portion of all anime and manga. It is retarded that you would even bring this up.
Back to the cuck shed, Wanpissfag
>The only thing published in North America is the original, but edited and spliced with shin devilman.
????
I mean, if we want to talk about money Dragon Ball still makes more than One Piece and Gundam even without an anime.
>anime and manga. It is retarded that you would even bring this up
wtd meaning this even mecha is a small portion on manga and anime. Go Nagai is "dad" all or mecha are u trolling or else?
Isn't Wan Piss getting cucked right now by Demon Slayer, which is total shit?
Dragon Ball's influence permeates far beyond manga and anime.
Devilman influenced Evangelion which in turn influenced everything you've been watching for the past two decades if you aren't a boxed in shounenspic. Why stop there? Getter Robo was the quintessential hot blood mecha and you can see its influence in Gurren Lagann, Gun/Diebuster, Symphogear, G Gundam, etc. You can shit on Go Nagai all you want but he's respected by everybody in the industry for a reason. At least I can thank Toriyama for writing his shitty manga for giving us One Piece, god bless. Dragon Quest is cool too.
Your English is atrocious, I can barely understand what you are trying to say.
Devilman and Go Nagai have influenced more than just mecha.
I do. And dragon ball has more influence.
>inb4 "b-bait"
No user, it's not.
Sure, but that has nothing to do with what I said.
I’d sooner call you retarded. Because as bait it barely makes any sense.
...Aaaaand shonen still has more relevance and has more influence than a lot of those shows. Sad.
Dragon Ball has a much greater and still-living influence than Getter Robo. Battle shonen is absolutely huge still, unlike Super Robo. How does that not have anything to do with what you said?
it didn't influence Dragonball
In reality Eva just influenced garbage (everything after the year 1993)
>"r-retard"
Don't be petty user.
Depends really.
>kotetsu jeeg
>mazinger
> grendizer
only after he realized how much these three made him earn, did he make other mecha, then he moved on to something else he was already famous
How?
Fujos do not count.
Nobody ever said that. People say that Go Nagai is ONE OF the most famous and influential mangaka of all time, but everyone knows that Dragon Ball is the world's most famous manga.
Eva didn't influence anything. All the stuff folks say came from it can be found in MSG, Ideon, Dubine, and a dozen other earlier and better mecha.
there are also well done shonen.. Full metal alchemist.
Dragon ball still has more influence. True, a lot of shit got inspired by things like evangelion, but dragon ball is still influential even after all those years. Like it or not, the reason for why Yas Forums is full of shonenfags is because shonen is more relevant than even evangelion right now.
I don’t get your point at all. He made other stuff as well.
>more relevant than even evangelion right now
Not hard to do when Eva's influence has been way overstated.
Vai a letto user e smetti di leggere shonen che sei grande
he never had the courage to take risks when he was a beginner. he became famous with the mecha, once famous you can also make a fart people forgive you because you are "" "Go Nagai" "" (I like many of his works eh)
please educate me on what dragon ball influenced that isn't one piece compared to the amount of classic works go nagai has inspired.
Devilman and Evangelion are also still influential.
And Yas Forums being full of retards is not an argument.
ahahahah
With that logic you would also have too say that those shows didn’t influence anything either because everything in them had been done in other media before as well.
When we talk about influence are we talking about how it inspired other authors/how it introduced new concepts. Because dragonball success (emphasis on success) was definitely influential for battle shonen, but it's contribution to the genre is really overstated. It really didn't do anything that hokuto no ken and kinnikuman didn't already do. At best it popularized battle shonen (and that would be a stretch too since hnk was a cultural phenomenon just as much everywhere except for America)
I don't see why that would make eva less popular.
Never said they didn't. And yeah, Yas Forums is retarded.
Devilman, mazinger and cutie honey are massively influential properties in three different genres. Arguably only tezuka has had a more varied and influential output
Also learn some English nigger
Not that user, but the only official release of the Devilman manga in North America is the 2 volume classic collection by Seven Seas Entertainment. They removed a few chapters from the original manga and instead spliced in Shin Devilman chapters. The story is still easy to follow, but it's a very arbitrary edit.
Literally almost 90% of shonen becomes dragon ball when the series advances. And shonenshit is relevant even now, it's true that dragon ball influence is less important when compared to eva or devilman but the reason for why the autism for shonenshit is still strong is thanks to writers taking inspiration on it. And while dragon ball isn't that inspirational outside of shonen, it has a lot of references in other animes and mangas too.
I don't disagree that DBZ had more influence but what the fuck are those retarded examples
Shounen is just a demographic there is a lot more too shounen then stuff like Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto.
Half of you people seem to be unaware that there's a difference between relevance and influence. A show can be influential without currently being popular, and just because a theme or idea was first introduced in an earlier series does not mean it couldn't be popularized by a later one. Many tropes found in Dragon Ball can be traced to earlier shonen series, but Dragon Ball made them more widespread. Dragon Ball is undeniably more popular than Devilman, but the tropes introduced in Devilman and Go Nagai's works in general are far more influential. Manga as it is today would not exist without Go Nagai.
As I said, nothing that hasn't already been done. You might as well say every shonen becomes hnk. Also a genre having a rabid and vocal/retarded fanbase doesn't make it more relevant or noteworthy than other genres. If we were to write a history of costume we would have to write about dragon ball probably, but if we had to write a history of the medium it would be little more than a footnote
True, but all of us know that we are talking about fighting shonen specifically.
We are really only talking about a certain subset of fighting shounen, since there are plenty of shounen that has a fighting focus that has little to obvious influence from dragon ball.
>As I said, nothing that hasn't already been done.
Being the first at something doesn't mean you are the influence of later shows that do the same. Kinnikuman started the whole tournament arcs thing but it was dragon ball who popularized it.
>You might as well say every shonen becomes hnk.
Why would I say that?
>Also a genre having a rabid and vocal/retarded fanbase doesn't make it more relevant or noteworthy than other genres
I agree. I don't see how it's related to what we are talking about though. Shonenfags aren't a minority.
Examples?
